Palnitafion 81 one Heard.

Treating Of palpitation Of the heart,
Or. 3. w Richardson says that while
the FACILITATING heart may be a diseased
heart, it need not be so; and because the
heart is organically diseased there is no
more reason why it should be affected
with palpitation than if it were healthy.
It may be observed generally, that the
subjects Of palpitation are, as a rule, Of
nervous temperament. They are '.im-
questionable people, and they are also
people Of active natures. In childhood
they Were. exceptionally sensitive, and
they remain SO. The treatment of palpi-
tation is moral, hygienic, and medical,
and the value Of these stands in the order
IN which ely here stand. The grand
point In tR6hsoral treatment is to impress
the sufferer with the confidence that
there is no instant danger from the
seizure foNBalp itation is fed by fear,
and so little as an expression of fear by
the looker-on increases the intensity of
the oyeraction. In like manner all hurry
and worry aggravate the symptom, and
SO, during the attack, the utmost care
should be taken to avoid noise, haste
and business. Regular habits in life IN
eating, drinking and sleeping sum up
the hygenic requirements. Tea, coffee
and alcohoIin every shape are always nm
favorable Id cases Of palpitatiou. The
quantity ofIfuid taken should be limited
in amount, and the nearer it comes to-
water, pure and simple, the better. Some
thing requires to be said about mental
as well as physical food Readings,
amusements and pastimes which keenly
affect the emotional faculties are to be
avoided as much as any more plainly
physical excitement. Whatever mental
food keeps the mind awake, whatever
makes the sufferer hold his breath with
wonder or anxiety, is bad as bad can be.
Exciting novels, plays, exercises, games
of chances should most surely be put
aside. But good, steady, pleasant,
mental work is not harmless merely, it is
useful; it prevents the mind from brood
ing over the bodily incapacity. and it be-
comes an element of cure. There is one
habit against which it is absolutely nee,
essary to protest, that is the habit of
smoking tobacco, and the nse of tobacco
as luxury in every way Tobacco is the
worst of enemies to soundness Of heart,
and steadiness of heart work.

Newspaper Mosques in Paris.

One Of The most characteristic street.
cries of rRhdon and of New York is
never heard in Paris, nor IS one of the
picturesque figures in the streets Of Lon
don and of New York ever seen ID the
streets of Paris, for in France the noisy
and pcrtinacious newsboy is unknown.
The functions of this unstable dis
seminator of intelligence are filed in
Paris by the staid old dame who sits at
the receipt of custom in kiosque. A
Partisan kiosque has nothing Oriental
but the name It is a little sentry-box
Of glass, just large enough to shelter the
newsycnderfrom the changeable weather
of the French capital On a little stand
in front of the kiosque are tiny heaps of
the countless newspapers of the city, and
on strings OH each side are pendent num-
bcrss Of the chief illustrated Journals,
artistic and comic These kiosques are
scattered along the bouleyards, and from
them the Partisan buys his Fsgaro in the
morning and his Temp at 5 in the after
noon. This difference of attitude be-
tween the hurrying American, who has
to have his newspaper brought to him
in haste hot from the press, and the
leisnrely Frenchman, who is content to
pick uphis paper when he goes abroad
This difference isfar more than external:
it's essentially typical Of the irreconcil-
able difference between the French
Journal and the English or American

GENERAL TWIGGS' SWORDS.
They are Still Held in the Treasury Depart
ment.
Baltimore Sun


There are now in the treasury depart
ment here three swords captured by Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler, at New Orleans,
which belonged to Gen. Twiggs. They
we're seized by Gen. 3. F. Butler in 1862,
while the latter was in command of the
Union forces at New Orleans. At the last
session of congress a bill was passed
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to return the swords to such person or
legal representative of such person as
was the owner of them at the time they
were captured. Senator Hawley, in re-
porting the bill favorably from the SEN
ate committee, said:
''These are some presentation swords
given to Gen. Twiggs before the war
They are among the captured property
of the government. Nobody cares to put
them into museum. or to sell them, or
anything of that sort. 1t is the wish of
the treasury department. and others who
have looked at the subject to return
them, but controversy has arisen as to
who are the owners. The bill proposes
to submit the question of fact to the
court of claims, and we report in favor
of it,
The bill was reported to the senate
without amendment, ordered to a third
reading, read the third time, and passed
The congress sword" was presented by
the president of the United States, agree

the high sense entertained by congress of
his gallant and good conduct in storming
Monterey. Resolution approved March 2,

with topaz, diamonds, sapphires and aqua
marine, and the blade is of the finest Da-
mascus steel. Value, $4,000.

green apples and until they were
fattened, have plowed, planted
seeded by turns, with no perceptible
diminution of the enemy which forestall-
ed Us in the possession of spy and bald
win, and all other delights of the orchard,
until disgust took the place of appetite
for apples. Last spring the remedy pro-
posed by, think, Prof. Cook, to spray
the trees with London purple or Paris
green, was in this wise: If only one
spraying can be attended to, let it be
when apples are the size of peas, but if
two, which is better. let the first be done
when the flowers fade. We sprayed at
the time when the fruit was the size of
peas, no larger, and it was emphatically
the thing. The yield was immense, of
good sound fruit, and bushels of apples
apples with never worm. 1t seemed
miraculous. l advise every one who owns
az apple tree to spray it with solution
of paris green. This spraying comes at
busy season, but it is job that can be
hurried through, and 800 to 400 trees can
be done in a day with water handy. L
think the best guide for strength of So
luton is the color of it, and should be
only pale green, as no doubt if too
strong the foliage and likely the fruit
will be blackened, or as if scorched, and
enough is just enough. We put guam
tity in pail and half filed it with water,
and dipped from that into the tub we
pumped from. AS I have made this so
long I will defer the "doctoring'' the
aphis of the cherry tree, apple tree and
currant bark insects until another time,
or until requested, as that may have been
well tried away from this vicinity.

EXECUTIVE OUTINGS.
Something About the Vacations of the Presi-
dents of the United States.

dents of the United States.
From Washington Letter.
Cleveland is the only President we have
had for many years who has taken his
vacations in the mountains. WASHINGTON
went to his home at Mount Vernon when
ever he could get an opportunity, and his
visitors during his stay there were so nu-
merous that the milk of 100 cows was not
enough to supply his table. He appar-
emily liked travelling and during his
Presidency he made tour of the South
in a white chariot with fine horses. He
received an ovation everywhere and was
always treated. He made also tour of
the Eastern States, but would not go in
to Rock Island, and John Hancock, the
Governor of Massachusetts, insulted him
by refusing to call upon him when he
first went to Boston. He stayed at his
own house and said that he was as biz a
man as Washington, who was nothing
more than chief of confederation of
States, while he himself was the chief of a
State. He finally called upon the Presi-
dent when the citizens of Boston cried
Shame" and made him do SO. Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe took their vacation
by going TO their homes, which were in
Virginia and not far away. And the two
Adamses went to Quincy, near Boston.
Andrew Jackson used to go down to Poto-
mac with Amos Kendall and spend a
week at time fishing from pile of
rocks in the center of Hampton Roads
which is now known as Fort Wool or the
Grip Raps," and John Tyler owned a lit
tie country house on the banks of little
lake near Fortress Monroe. Buchanan,
sometimes left Washington for Wheat
land, his country home near Lancaster
Pa, and President Lincoln was too busy
during his Presidency to get much
further away from Washington than the
Soldiers Home cottage, which he occu-
pied during the war. johnson stuck
gIimly to mis- post and never went any
where except on the famous circle. Grant
liked the seaside, and he was a born
traveller. He went to Long Branch often
during his Presidency, and Arthur did
likewise. Garfield was just starting to
Long Branch when he was assass1nated
by Guiteau.

SolomOn's Judgment in Chinese.
London Academy.

Two women came before madar1n in
China, each of them protesting that she
was the mother Of a child they had
and so positive that the mandarin was
sorely puzzled. He retired to consult
with his wife, who was a wise and clever
woman, whose opinion was held in great
repute in the neighborhood. She request
ed five minutes in which to deliberate.
At the end of that time che spoke:
''Let the servants catch me large fish
in the river, and let it be brought me
here alive" This was done. s'Bring me
now the infant" she said, ''but leave the
women la the outer chamber" This was
done, too. Then the mandarin's wife
caused the baby to be undressed, and it's
clothes put on the large fish. "Carry the
creature outside now and throw it into
the river in the sight of the two women
The servant obeyed her orders, dinging
the fish into the water, where it rolled
about and struggled, Disguised, no doubt,

died. Without moments pause, one of
the mothers threw herself into the river
with shrek. She must save her drown
ing child. without doubt she is the true
mother" she declared, and the mandarin's
wife commanded that she should be res
cued and the child given to her. And
the mandarin nodded his head and
thought his wife the wisest woman in the
Flowery Kingdom. Meantime the false
mother crept away. She was found out
in her imposture; and the mandarin's
wife forgot all about her in the occupa-
ton of clothing the little baby in the
best silk she could find in her wardrobe.
